The Curriculum

Visual and Performing arts

A structured involvement in the arts unleashes the kind of creativity that can invigorate one’s entire learning experience.
Participating in the fine and performing arts can also help a student grasp mathematical and visual concepts, develop critical literacy and see patterns across academic disciplines.
 
At Dwight-Englewood, therefore, the arts play an important role from pre-kindergarten through the 12th grade. They permeate the school’s culture: students can take courses of many varieties from performance to set-construction to video production to industrial design. Outside of course work, they can play in ensembles, audition and perform on stage or back stage, in venues larger and smaller, formally or informally. Or they can work after school in the art studios, taking advantage of the facility and contact with the faculty.
 
One of the most exciting things about Dwight-Englewood’s arts program is that so many of our instructors boast significant professional experience. Many are active on Broadway, perform in musical ensembles, or are practicing artists in the New York arts scene.
 
By sharing their real-world experience with students, our teachers serve to inspire and to prepare a new generation made up of both people who make art and those who deeply appreciate it.
